Try here...it's lovely Siljan Air Park, and you don't need a lottery win. This time last year for the price of a 2-bed flat in Perth (UK, not Oz) you could have got a 3 bedroom house with integral sauna and a 20m x 10m hangar with taxiway access to 850m of grass and hard.

It's gone now, but there are others, one with a control tower room thing on top. Would that do?

Hmmm, maybe. Might need to work on the "wife test" aspect a bit.

Both our ancestors were good at not getting caught, so we've no family in Australia - but you never know ;)

Coincidentally, I did win the lottery on Wednesday evening. Not the big one but enough to fly my aircraft for an hour, pay a landing fee and have a breakfast this weekend.

Now, where shall I go to?

Life is good.

In days gone by I probably would have looked at something pointy, fast & exciting - like an old Hunter.

These days I'd probably be sensible and look for something I could use myself and also make some money out of by chartering - say a King Air. I'm guessing £2mil would do the job.

I'm not sure on the current price of a decent Spitfire, but one of those and trying to make it pay for itself would be a challenge. What do they go for these days, say a £mil - add another for contingencies and what not and that's £2mil

And a heli would be handy - say an AW109 - so prob another £2mil

So that's about £6mil on aircraft. There's an estate I quite like the look of for sale near me - about £6mil should sort that.

The remaining 8mil would get invested for the kids and family.

If any of the aircraft failed to pay for themselves, they'd be sold - it's entirely possible If the Spit didn't make the cut that I could have as much fun with a racing e-type jag and a Tiger Moth! I may also be tempted by a STOL type such as a Maule. Nice problem to have whichever way you look at it.
